The announcement comes just hours after the country's second manned space mission touched down in the remote grasslands of Inner Mongolia. The returning astronauts have been given a hero's welcome, riding in an open car in a nationally televised parade. Thousands of soldiers and groups of schoolchildren lined the route, waving Chinese flags. It's a sign of the great importance China attaches to its space program, viewing it as a source of national pride and international prestige.

News Item 2
China's economy has recovered earlier and more strongly than any other. This latest data is further evidence of that trend. The rise in industrial output confirms what factory owners have been saying for some time now, that customers have been restocking* their inventories and confidence is returning.
There are still question marks though over the stability of the recovery. The property* sector* is showing signs of overheating. The
government this week announced measures to try to cool it. At the same time officials decided to extend tax subsidies* for purchases of small
vehicles and appliances suggesting that some here still believe Chinese
manufacturers need government support.
Growth was strongest in heavy industries such as coal, steel, power generation and automobiles. Consumer prices rose in November for the first
time since February. But the rise was small and probably reflected higher food prices caused by early snowstorms which destroyed crops and disrupted transport.
A: … about the growth of China's economy.
News Item 3
If you visit almost any marketplace in Africa, many of the consumer goods on sale, from buckets to razor blades to hurricane lamps, are likely to be Chinese. In a very large number of African capitals, the main football stadium is likely to have been built with Chinese aid money. Sino-African trade, and aid, is large and growing. Some estimates put it as high as 12 billion dollars a year. Although direct comparisons are difficult, the links between the world's largest developing country, China, and the world's largest developing continent could grow to challenge the post-colonial links between Europe and Africa. The meeting in Addis Ababa* had heard Chinese promises to cancel debts, grant duty-free access into China for African products and increase Chinese investments in Africa.
A: … about China's large and growing trade with and aid to Africa.
B：

Representatives of nearly 150 countries meeting in Hong Kong are still trying to reach a new agreement on global trade.
For many countries the biggest prize they realistically hoped for on this meeting was a date for ending the European Union subsidies (补贴)
to help farmers sell their produce (农产品) on world markets. The EU was
already committed in principle to doing this. Now a senior official says they are prepared to name the date as part of a wider deal. If there isn't an agreement here in Hong Kong, the date of 2013 will be in it, he confirmed. The United States trade representative Rob Portrnan said he would still prefer a date of 2010, but he is trying to be accommodating.

News Item 1
The piracy problem looks like it's here to stay despite the recent muscular interventions (干预) by the French and American navies. Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revenge for the killing of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear. But it does suggest at the very least that the pirates haven't been deterred.
So why does the problem persist? Put it simply, maritime security analysts say. Piracy will continue as long as the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remain so great and Somalia remains so lawless. Certainly the international effort to thwart* the problem is relatively limited. At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen international warships in the area to police an expanse of sea covering more than a 業汬潩?煳慵敲欠汩浯瑥敲?
The reluctance to mount* a major international naval operation in the area may also be down to the relatively small scale of the problem. Last year, nearly twenty-three thousand ships passed through the Gulf of Aden. Only 92 were hijacked.
A: …about the Somali pirates' strike.
